current state of mind: uncommonly sensical
Taking your time, get a little older
All the possibilities weigh down on your
shoulders
Such imagination, I'm getting to the heart
of it
It's about life; trying to make the most of
it
~ ‘For Awhile’ by The Feelies
My morning
began at 3:16am when the thunder and lightning freaked out Elizabeth. She was sound asleep in her new doggie bed
and all was well – until Mother Nature sent forth her wrath. Then
all was definitely NOT well. Luckily,
she had a bath Sunday afternoon, so I did not mind her wanting to be under my freshly
laundered comforter. I kept her in her
doggie bed, but placed the comforter over her head, which calmed her down and
provided enough comfort for her to fall back asleep. Of course, I was wide awake by that
point. I played all my turns of Wordle
(Wordfeud) and then played 4 games of solitaire on my phone before drifting
back to sleep.
The phone
rang at 6:06am; a friendly wake-up call from someone who cares that I get out
of bed in the morning. I promised to get
out of bed and then hung up, only to promptly fall back asleep until the second
call 25 minutes later. This time, I
actually did get out of bed. While
brushing my teeth I reviewed today’s horoscope and was taken aback by the
Universe’s turn on me:
“Normally,
you have plenty of common sense at your disposal, but you seem to have lost
your sound judgment today. You're striving for a more unconventional approach
to a solution, but you may not be able to logically justify your radical ideas
now. Unfortunately, others probably won't support your efforts if your plan
isn't practical, so examine your strategy once again before disclosing any
details. Your judgment in a love life
situation is a bit peculiar today. The object of your affections will be
unwilling to accept you if you lose all common sense now.”
So not only
was I predestined to have a “not-so-great” day; but my Love horoscope was
directly tied to the “lack of common sense” predicted. Well, I refuse to go down without a fight, so
I am refusing to act irrationally, even when the forces-that-be seem to be
pushing me in that direction. I already
behaved somewhat irrationally on Sunday, picking a fight with someone over an
off-hand comment that normally wouldn’t have phased me. I elected to blame the Super Moon for that mishap
– but perhaps there was more to it, considering the negative horoscope. Perhaps all the stars are aligning to make my
life a little difficult for a while. If
so, it’s cool. I’ll just continue to
trust in what I know and let my INTJ personality lead me through the labyrinth
of life.
Plus, I bought
a personal label maker yesterday for $9.99 – normally $40.00. Armed with a label maker, Post-its, and Needle
Point Tul pens, I am a warrior with really cool office supplies. The
Universe doesn’t shop at OfficeMax – I do.
Word!
PERSONAL NOTE: I love your face!
CONFIDENTIAL NOTE: I am looking forward to seeing you soon. It feels like forever – but that is an
exaggeration.
